Abstract

An abdominal support in the form of underpants or knickers is limited at the level of each thigh by a cut-out (4) which, on the front face (7) of said support (1), has a curved shape and a downward-facing concavity which lies well above and passes around the venous junction (6) of the inguinal fold.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une gaine de maintien abdominal en forme de slip ou culotte.The present invention relates to an abdominal support sheath in the form of a panty.

Afin de remplir leur rôle, les gaines de maintien abdominal (EP-101.142), lesquelles sont destinées à des personnes de mobilité réduite, sont constituées en fort tissu élastique qui enserre à la fois le bas du tronc et le haut des cuisses et ont leurs bords haut et bas qui enserrent quant à eux respectivement la taille et le haut des cuisses.In order to fulfill their role, the abdominal support sheaths (EP-101.142), which are intended for people with reduced mobility, are made of strong elastic fabric which encloses both the bottom of the trunk and the top of the thighs and have their high and low edges which enclose respectively the size and the top of the thighs.

Du fait de cette forme considérée à ce jour obligatoire pour permettre au tissu de la gaine de résister à une contrainte transversale et donc à la gaine de remplir sa fonction de maintien, malheureusement, outre l'action recherchée sur la paroi abdominale, la gaine comprime également l'aine et la racine externe des cuisses où elle comprime le paquet vasculaire du pli inguinal (axe fémoral artériel et veineux) même si pour en limiter les inconvénients, il est fait appel à des réalisations complexes ou à des tissus de grande élasticité rendant le maintien aléatoire.Due to this form considered to date mandatory to allow the sheath fabric to resist a transverse stress and therefore the sheath to fulfill its maintenance function, unfortunately, in addition to the desired action on the abdominal wall, the sheath compresses also the groin and the external root of the thighs where it compresses the vascular bundle of the inguinal fold (arterial and venous femoral axis) even if to limit the drawbacks, use is made of complex constructions or tissues of great elasticity making random maintenance.

Il en résulte pour la circulation sanguine une gêne insupportable par les personnes auxquelles la gaine est justement destinée à savoir les personnes agées, les femmes attendant un enfant ou ayant eu plusieurs grossesses et/ou les personnes ayant une mauvaise tenue vasculaire abdominale.This results in unbearable discomfort for the blood circulation by the people for whom the sheath is precisely intended, namely the elderly, women expecting a child or having had several pregnancies and / or people with poor abdominal vascular behavior.

En effet, pour ces personnes, une pression même modérée sur une veine perturbe, voire bloque la circulation veineuse ce qui a des graves conséquences sur le plan pathologique vasculaire puisqu'il occasionne des stases veineux, puis des varices, des thromboses et des complications phlébologiques.Indeed, for these people, even moderate pressure on a vein disrupts or even blocks the venous circulation which has serious consequences on the vascular pathological level since it causes venous stasis, then varicose veins, thromboses and phlebological complications .

Pour palier partiellement à cet inconvénient, on connait (FR-A-2.293.882) une gaine de maintien abdominale dont les fibres constituant les tissus sont disposés obliquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la dite gaine.To partially overcome this drawback, there is known (FR-A-2,293,882) an abdominal support sheath whose fibers constituting the tissues are arranged obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of said sheath.

L'orientation particulière de ces fibres et par conséquent des lignes de force inhérentes à ces dernières, limite l'effet de serrage au niveau du carrefour veineux sous jacent du paquet vasculaire mais on a vu que même une pression modérée sur une des deux zones veineuses majeures que sont la veine fémorale et la crosse de la saphène interne altère la dynamique veineuse et suffit pour provoquer une perturbation de la circulation veineuse dont les conséquences sur la plan pathogène vasculaire peuvent entraîner une stase veineuse source de complications phléboligiques.The particular orientation of these fibers and consequently the lines of force inherent in the latter, limit the clamping effect at the level of the venous crossroads underlying the vascular bundle, but we have seen that even moderate pressure on a of the two major venous zones that are the femoral vein and the saphenous arch buttress alters the venous dynamics and is sufficient to cause a disturbance of the venous circulation whose consequences on the vascular pathogen level can lead to venous stasis, source of phlebolic complications.

La forme considérée obligatoire pour permettre à la gaine de remplir sa fonction de maintien est aussi de nature à entraîner aussi une gêne de mouvement mais cela, pour ce type de gaine, est négligé vu la mobilité réduite des personnes auxquelles elle est destinée.The form considered compulsory to allow the sheath to fulfill its holding function is also likely to cause movement discomfort but this, for this type of sheath, is neglected given the reduced mobility of the people for whom it is intended.

Il n'en serait certes pas de même s'il s'agissait d'un slip sportif mais les sportifs n'ont pas besoin d'un slip assurant un maintien abdominal et par ailleurs la gêne circulatoire que les gaines occasionnent aux personnes de mobilité réduite ne serait pas ressentie par les dits sportifs dont le système vasculaire est sain.It would certainly not be the same if it were a sports brief but athletes do not need a slip ensuring abdominal support and also the circulatory discomfort that the sheaths cause to people with mobility reduced would not be felt by so-called sportsmen with a healthy vascular system.

Les considérations auxquelles répondent les gaines et les slips sportifs sont donc tout à fait opposées.The considerations to which sheaths and sports briefs respond are therefore quite opposite.

Aussi, les solutions adoptées pour les slips sportifs sont considérées inapplicables aux gaines et vice versa.Also, the solutions adopted for sports briefs are considered inapplicable to the sheaths and vice versa.

Néanmoins, on peut citer dans le domaine des slips sportifs une découpe présentant certaines similitudes avec la solution objet de l'invention.However, one can cite in the field of sports briefs a cut having certain similarities with the solution object of the invention.

Ce slip (FR-A-2.118.419) présente une forme qui, sur la partie externe de la cuisse, passe légèrement au dessus du pli inguinal mais qui, par contre, du côté intérieur de la cuisse passe sur le pli inguinal et comprime l'anneau crural point de passage de la veine fémorale des vaisseaux lymphatiques, de l'artère fémorale et du nerf crural, ce qui montre bien la différence de problèmes à résoudre.These briefs (FR-A-2.118.419) have a shape which, on the external part of the thigh, passes slightly above the inguinal fold but which, on the other hand, on the inner side of the thigh passes over the inguinal fold and compresses the crural ring crossing point of the femoral vein of the lymphatic vessels, the femoral artery and the crural nerve, which clearly shows the difference in problems to be solved.

L'invention a pour objet une gaine de maintien abdominale, en forme de slip ou culotte, à usage notamment des personnes de mobilité réduite ou des femmes ayant eu plusieurs grossesses ou attendant un enfant et qui, tout en assurant son rôle de maintien, évite toute pression de l'anneau crural sous jacent au pli inguinal, notamment caractérisée en ce qu'elle est limitée au niveau de chaque cuisse par une découpe courbe à concavité tournée vers le bas qui, sur la face antérieure de la dite gaine, fait passer le bas de la gaine nettement au delà du pli inguinal en le contournant sur toute sa longeur par l'intérieur et le dessus.The subject of the invention is an abdominal support sheath, in the form of briefs or panties, for use in particular of persons of reduced mobility or of women having had several pregnancies or expecting a child and which, while ensuring its role of maintenance, avoids any pressure of the crural ring underlying the inguinal fold, in particular characterized in that it is limited at the level of each thigh by a curved concavity cut turned downwards which, on the anterior face of the said sheath, causes the bottom of the sheath to pass clearly beyond the inguinal fold, bypassing it along its entire length from the inside and the top.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement :

  • figure 1 : une vue de face de la gaine de maintien abdominal,
  • figure 2 : une gaine vue de profil,
  • figure 3 : une vue de face d'un slip sportif de type connu avec en traits mixtes, la gaine objet de l'invention pour en montrer les différences.
The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the attached drawing which schematically represents:
  • FIG. 1: a front view of the abdominal support sheath,
  • FIG. 2: a sheath seen in profile,
  • Figure 3: a front view of a sports pant of known type with dashed lines, the sheath object of the invention to show the differences.

La gaine 1 de maintien abdominal objet de la présente invention est utilisable en orthopédie notamment par les femmes ayant eu plusieurs grossesses ou les personnes agées.The abdominal support sheath 1 which is the subject of the present invention can be used in orthopedics in particular by women who have had several pregnancies or the elderly.

Classiquement, de telles gaines 1 possèdent une texture 2 élastiquement déformable enserrant le bas du tronc et le haut des cuisses.Conventionally, such sheaths 1 have an elastically deformable texture 2 enclosing the bottom of the trunk and the top of the thighs.

Elle est limitée par un bord 3 à sa partie supérieure ceinturant la taille et par deux découpes 4 à sa partie inférieure 5 pour former deux tours de cuisse.It is limited by an edge 3 at its upper part around the waist and by two cutouts 4 at its lower part 5 to form two thigh loops.

Afin d'éviter que cette gaine engendre sur les différentes parties du corps en contact avec elle et notamment avec ses tours de cuisse une gêne insupportable dûe à une pression même modérée, notamment au niveau du carrefour veineux 6 du pli inguinal et soit responsable d'une perturbation de la circulation sanguine des zones veineuses majeures correspondantes, selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, cette gaine réalisée en tissu élastique est notamment caractérisée en ce qu'elle est limitée au niveau de chaque cuisse par une découpe 4 qui, sur la face antérieure 7 de la dite gaine 1, sans nuire au maintien, a une forme courbe et une concavité tournée vers le bas qui fait passer le bas de la gaine nettement au delà du carrefour veineux 6 du pli inguinal en le contournant sur toute sa longueur par l'intérieur et par le dessus.In order to prevent this sheath from causing unbearable discomfort on the various parts of the body in contact with it and in particular with its thigh loops due to even moderate pressure, in particular at the level of the venous junction 6 of the inguinal fold and being responsible for a disturbance in the blood circulation of the corresponding major venous zones, according to an essential characteristic of the invention, this sheath made of elastic tissue is in particular characterized in that it is limited at the level of each thigh by a cutout 4 which, on the front face 7 of said sheath 1, without detriment to the maintenance, has a curved shape and a downwardly concavity which makes the bottom of the sheath pass clearly beyond the venous crossroad 6 of the inguinal fold by bypassing it over its entire length from the inside and from above.

Il apparaît donc clairement que, ainsi limité à sa partie inférieure 5, ce type de gaine 1 tout en assurant de manière surprenante le maintien abdominal ne provoquera aucune contrainte au niveau du carrefour veineux 6 du pli inguinal.It therefore appears clearly that, thus limited to its lower part 5, this type of sheath 1 while surprisingly ensuring abdominal support will not cause any constraint at the level of the venous crossroad 6 of the inguinal fold.

Pour une telle gaine 1, chaque découpe courbe 4 est de nature globalement parabolique à concavité antéro-externe et dont l'axe de symétrie 8 se trouve sensiblement à mi distance du plan médian P de la face antérieure 7 de la dite gaine 1 et du bord longitudinal 9 de celle-ci.For such a sheath 1, each curved cutout 4 is generally parabolic in nature with antero-external concavity and the axis of symmetry 8 of which is substantially midway from the median plane P of the anterior face 7 of said sheath 1 and of the longitudinal edge 9 thereof.

De préférence, du côté interne de la cuisse, à partir de l'entrejambe sensiblement sur la moitié h de la hauteur H de la découpe, les bords se rapprochent légèrement l'un de l'autre pour contourner vers l'intérieur le pli inguinal avant de s'élever pour parvenir par devant la cuisse au dessus du pli inguinal pour le dégager largement.Preferably, on the inner side of the thigh, from the crotch substantially over half h of the height H of the cut, the edges slightly approach each other to bypass the inguinal fold inward. before rising to reach in front of the thigh above the inguinal fold to release it widely.

Afin de bien marquer la différence, la gaine a été esquissée en traits mixtes, en figure 3, sur une vue d'un slip sportif de type connu.In order to clearly mark the difference, the sheath has been sketched in dashed lines, in FIG. 3, on a view of a sports brief of known type.

On voit que la hauteur H de la découpe préconisée est importante et sensiblement égale à sa largeur L.We see that the height H of the recommended cutout is large and substantially equal to its width L.

Bien évidemment, comme cela est connu en ce domaine, une couture 10 telle un ourlet et/ou une ganse élastique renforce chaque découpe 4 précitée.Obviously, as is known in this field, a seam 10 such as a hem and / or an elastic strap reinforces each cutout 4 above.

Grâce à la découpe 4 qui met son porteur à l'abri de toute pression sur le noeud crural, le tissu constituant la gaine peut avoir une texture qui, pour assurer un maintien accru, est formée de fibres élastiques 11 dont certaines sont disposées sensiblement horizontalement.Thanks to the cutout 4 which shelters its wearer from any pressure on the crural node, the fabric constituting the sheath can have a texture which, to ensure increased support, is formed of elastic fibers 11, some of which are arranged substantially horizontally .

Dans une variante de réalisation notamment à usage des femmes enceintes, à la gaine est associée, par sa partie médiane, au niveau du bas ventre, une sangle 12 qui, en plus du maintien assuré par l'élasticité du matériau réalisant la paroi abdominale 13 de la gaine, assure une fonction de soutien, cette sangle 12 qui est, à cet effet, en matériau plus résistant à la déformation élastique que la gaine, a ses extrémités qui sont attachées sur les côtés de la gaine, par des moyens réglables, tels des oeillets et lacets, des agrafes etc ..., portés à cet effet par des pattes associées aux extrémités d'une sangle arrière 14 dont la partie médiane est fixée à la gaine à proximité de sa ceinture 3.In an alternative embodiment, in particular for use by pregnant women, the sheath is associated, by its middle part, at the level of the lower abdomen, with a strap 12 which, in addition to the support provided by the elasticity of the material forming the abdominal wall 13 of the sheath, provides a support function, this strap 12 which is, for this purpose, of material more resistant to elastic deformation than the sheath, has its ends which are attached to the sides of the sheath, by adjustable means, such as eyelets and laces, staples etc ..., worn there effect by lugs associated with the ends of a rear strap 14, the middle part of which is fixed to the sheath near its belt 3.
